| Rose McGowan : Against Sexism |
Late Wednesday, the actress and director wrote on Twitter
that her agent fired her because she “spoke up” about Hollywood
casting practices, adding the hashtag #BRINGIT.
Pushback against Hollywood sexism seems to have gotten Rose McGowan dropped from the talent agency Innovative Artists.
Last week, the actress
had tweeted the casting notes from a movie whose star, she wrote, has a
name that “rhymes with Madam Panhandler.”
“Form fitting tank
that shows off cleavage (push up bras encouraged),” part of the note
read, prompting Ms. McGowan to tweet, “Ha ha I die.”
A few days later, Ms. McGowan told
Entertainment Weekly that while she was not trying to vilify Adam
Sandler in the tweet, it was “the stupidity more than anything” that set
her off. “I was offended by the fact that went through so many people’s
hands and nobody red flagged it,” Ms. McGowan said. “This is normal to
so many people.”
A publicist for Ms.
McGowan did not return messages; but a woman who answered the phone at
the Los Angeles-based Innovative Artists and did not give her name, said
the agency had stopped representing Ms. McGowan as of Wednesday, but
that she was not privy as to why.
